Dunedin Cares Girl Power June Drive
FEMININE CARE PRODUCT DRIVE
The number of families in the USA needing assistance from food pantries continues to increase every year. The lack of access to menstrual health products for people who are either homeless or low-income is appalling. These necessary products are not covered by SNAP or any other welfare program. Each month, this leaves countless people without the products many of us take for granted.
During the month of June, please help to support Dunedin Cares’ “Girl Power” feminine care product drive by donating maxi pads, mini pads, panty liners and tampons. Or make a monetary donation to Dunedin Cares (cash, check or online) and identify your donation is in support of our “Girl Power” drive. With your help, we can help so many who cannot afford these necessary products.

Coffee with the Counselor: Am I Angry or Anxious?
“What is the connection between anxiety and anger? Why am I so irritable? I don’t want to be so angry, but I can’t help myself. What can I do to have better control of my emotions while facing stressful situations?”
We will explore the answers to these questions and many others that deal with emotional regulation and our ability to express ourselves appropriately when we feel like our emotions are getting the best of us.
Come, relax, and enjoy refreshments and a stress-free night. We will also be talking about our upcoming mental health conference to be held at OLL in September, entitled: Help, Hope and Healing: Mental Health Conference 2022.”
Facilitators: Dolores Mortimer, LMHC, RPT/S, NCC, and Winnie Holland, LMHC
